National Affairs: The Coolidge Why
(2 of 2)
In commenting on the Kansas City convention, Citizen Coolidge pointed out that the opposition to Herbert Hoover made the mistake of scattering itself over many candidates none of whom developed strength "to make a showing sufficient to impress the convention."
Mr. Coolidge believed that his instructions through Secretary Sanders to unpledged delegations turned them to Mr. Hoover, "which brought about his nomination on the first ballot."
Thus did Mr. Coolidge, in his own words, "retire voluntarily from the greatest experience that can come to mortal man."
"We draw our Presidents from the people," wrote Citizen Coolidge. "It is a wholesome thing for them to return to the people. I came from them. I wish to be one of them again."
